NASA is preparing for a mission to understand more about the famous Europa, the icy moon of Jupiter. The agency has already put a request for more funding in preparation for the mission. If all goes according to plan, the mission to Europa could launch in the middle of 2020 with a spacecraft set out to help with the exploration of the moon.

According to NASA’s Charles Bolden, an administrator, Europa is a fascinating moon, and they are planning a mission to find out if its conditions are appropriate to sustain life.
